Digit-al Dozen Does Pattern on Pattern - Day 1: Sketchy Gradient

Purchased by Me

Hello! Digit-al Dozen Week is back! And, of course, I'm off to a late start! This week's theme is "pattern on pattern," which is proving quite challenging. But it's also producing some gorgeous manis from my fellow Digit-al Dozen-ers. This is the second mani I did for today. I hated the way the first one turned out so I went in a completely different direction and I really love the end result!

Post continued after the jump!

I used two of my new Fancy Gloss polishes to create this look, Frozen Berries and Feeling Gloomy. I am so in love with these polishes and I'm hoping to have a swatch spam post with a few of them soon! 

I started off with only one coat of Feeling Gloomy (both of these polishes are very opaque on their own, which made them perfect for a gradient). I added the gradient with Frozen Berries and let it dry completely. I then took my small detail brush and made short, random lines at the tip and the base of my nail with the opposite color. It's kind of like a gradient within a gradient, except one has rough lines instead of a smooth transition. I hope I am making sense. It's late and I have a horrible headache, I will have to read it when I'm in better shape to see if it makes sense! 

I really like this design and wish I hadn't broken a nail yesterday because I think it would look even better on longer nails.
